Incorrectly measured and badly fitting compression garments may cause constriction leading to, eg, skin necrosis, pressure ulcers, and pressure related peripheral nerve damage. Open wounds should be covered with an appropriate dressing before the compression garment is put on.
Appropriate footwear must be worn when walking to help prevent falls.
Medical compression garments should only be used after consultation with your doctor or therapist and checked regularly by them on the appropriateness of your therapy, also considering age and health status.
Patient measurements should be taken by a trained person to determine the correct product size needed to decide whether a made to measure or ready-to-wear garment is required.
Ill-fitting compression garments may cause constriction leading to, eg, skin necrosis, pressure ulcers, and pressure related peripheral nerve damage.
When re-ordering a garment after 6 months we recommend remeasuring the patient as the limb circumference might have changed.
If you notice discomfort, pain, numbness, changes in skin color, appearance of new wounds or swelling during wear, stop using the product and contact your health care professional.
